ACANY’s Spring 2024 Full-Scale Off-Broadway Production: SEUSSICAL JR.
Actors 7-13 Eligible (Email us for an Age Exception)
Students ages 12 and 13 may also audition for our Main-Stage Production, BAT BOY! We will cast you where we think you fit best!
Director: Rebecca O’Sullivan Reres (Gilbert & Sullivan Players, INTO THE WOODS JR, FROZEN JR)
Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
Seussical JR. has 17 featured roles plus an ensemble, so there’s lots of great parts to go around!
